Mapping Tools

 

NY13 Meta-Data Collection

One of my more interesting projects was creating a cell-phone based “baseline data collection tool” for cocoa farming research in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The tool allowed users to create points and polygons, which could be mapped, annotated and supplemented with images. The link below is my first pass at re-working the tool using the Google Maps 3 API. My goal with this project is to collect politically important meta data for NY Congressional District 13, where I live, for example development projects, re-zoning proposals and polling stations. Its tons of fun for me so I will be updating it on a very regular basis.

Marriage Equality

This is a visualization I did for a private client interested the legal history of marriage equality in the United States. Click to view the Marriage Equality Map. This example was written in jQuery mobile which is an awkward tool, to say the least.
